Although it is already late winter, the streets of the capital are still bustling and noisy.

The changes in the upper class of Daheng have almost equals nothing to the urban life at the bottom, but the positive impact is quite significant.

For example, after the news of the reform came out, coupled with the butcher knife that the emperor had already waved freely, there were also many landlords and gentry who were reluctant to sell their land from all over the country.

After all, as long as you have a little knowledge, you can see that this time, the butcher knife that the emperor waved was not only slashing at corrupt officials, but also following the clues and implicating a series of people.

In this world, even if you are just a juren who has not become an official, with the privileges of the previous Ming Dynasty, you can still be rich and accumulate a family business that can be passed on to your family.

Not to mention, when you become Shangguan, the relationship behind which one is not complicated and entrenches all over the place.

If you cut down one, as long as you make up your mind to investigate, you will inevitably lead to a series of interest relationships.

Obviously, those who can be linked to these relationships naturally cannot be poor people who are difficult to even fill their stomachs. At least they will be rich landlords.

As for whether it will hurt a good person by mistake...

The emperor could only say sorry in his heart. For the sake of the eternal foundation and for the countless people in the world who are still struggling on the line of food and clothing, the necessary sacrifices are also necessary.

The balance between poverty and wealth is never determined by the market itself. The rich will only be richer, and the poor will only be poorer.

This problem is actually the same as land annexation.

It has been impossible to solve it in all dynasties, but in his hands, even if absolute fairness cannot be guaranteed, absolute balance must be achieved.

As for the destruction of people's livelihood and economy, the emperor has long been mentally prepared to destroy and establish a great foundation.

As a result, it is obvious that the wave of selling land is becoming more and more surging. It can be expected that as the butcher's knife continues, the selling of land will only become more surging.

It is obvious that the more land is sold, as long as the court is properly allocated, the lives of the people will naturally get better and better.

The people live a good life. Even if the central government of the court has to suffer for a few years and endure for a few years due to such turmoil in the people's livelihood and economic turmoil, it is also a welcome thing for the emperor.

After the storm, there is a rainbow.

For Daheng, after the storm that has swept the world for many years, the prosperity begins, and for this world and this nation, it is the foundation for the unwavering of eternity!

"The people are peaceful and smiling. Master, this is a prosperous scene!"

Several people walked on the street, and Lai Zongdao also flattered.

The emperor laughed, but he didn't care. The prosperous era he wanted was not the prosperous era that the people could not even have enough food to boast about.

Now, even the capital under the emperor's feet is still far from what he wants!

"Let's tell you, today's son, is a good rule that has never been seen in the ages!"

"You guys, don't be confused by those traitors. Although Your Majesty's reform is to take back all the land, it is not about robbing our land!"

"This is to allow us poor people to plant land and eat a full meal. Think about it, the land is all country-owned, and Your Majesty has set many rules and restrictions. Your Majesty is also watching. It is not that easy for those traitors to try to covet our land..."

"Look at it, why the land on the market is so cheap? It's because of Your Majesty..."

When they arrived at an inn, the faint sound came from the crowd, but the emperor was obviously interested, so he took a step and walked towards the inn.

Seeing this, Lai Zongdao and others subconsciously looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

The emperor left casually, but this made the soldiers of the imperial camp who were secretly guarding him.

Originally, all the guards were arranged according to the established route, but suddenly, it was a small and messy place like an inn, and the difficulty of guarding was obviously increased by more than one level.

While the soldiers of the Imperial Front Camp were busy working, the emperor and several civil and military ministers had already arrived at the private room on the second floor of the inn.

There is no doubt that at this moment, including the emperor, all his attention was attracted by the storyteller in the inn.

Lai Zongdao and others showed a contemplative look on their faces, but the emperor had an unconcealed smile on his lips.

In this era, there are actually very few channels for information circulation.

Even if it is a gentry landlord, the information receiving channels are just passed down by word of mouth.

There are very few channels for receiving information from the bottom. Most of the people may be wandering around their own villages and nearby towns throughout their lives.

The honor of scholars is not necessary to say much. It is precisely because of this that the public opinion discourse power of this era has always been firmly grasped by local gentry and landlords.

The first step to go to the countryside when the imperial power is naturally to break the control of this public opinion.

He has already started this matter since he planned to reform the country after he was assisting the country and planned to reform it.

To break the control of public opinion by gentry and literary people, first of all, we must naturally break the privileges of scholars and the current landlords and gentry's ability to seize tenants.

He has been doing this for a long time.

What’s left is naturally to diversify the channels for people to obtain information.

In the past, if the people's understanding of the court's policies was determined by the local men, or by the people who went out, they would just rely on the words they heard outside.

As for those court notices posted everywhere...

In the end, what you write can only rely on the mouths of scholars!

The lower-level people have almost no information source that can understand the court's policies.

What he did was to start with the few ways of entertainment that the people of this era had.

Such as the storytellers in the tavern and inn, such as the major opera troupes.

The court's policies were explained to the people through these simplest and easy-to-understand methods.

At the same time, these can also be used to influence the direction of public opinion, suppress the inversion of black and white by some people with ulterior motives, and can also subtly realize the new cultural propaganda that the emperor has been thinking about.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! To this day, in the Propaganda Department established by the Jinyiwei, there are nearly 500 various opera troupes registered, and there are nearly 2,000 storytellers...

Almost 200,000 to 300,000 taels of silver allocated to the Jinyiwei every year were allocated to the Propaganda Department, and then the emperor also influenced the public opinion of the whole world through the Propaganda Department.

"This propaganda department is useful."

At some point, Lai Zongdao suddenly said this.

Liu Qiyuan also nodded. The existence of the Propaganda Department is a secret to the lower class people and even the vast majority of literati and gentlemen, but for them, it is naturally not a secret.

In recent years, many people who hinder the Propaganda Department have been dealt with by the Jinyiwei, and these are all things that are well known.

"In the most popular way, preaching the court's policies can also prevent those with ulterior motives from misinterpreting and distorting the court's policies and fooling and exploiting the people."

“This is just one of them.”

The emperor shook his head: "It's not enough to let the people know that it's okay. There are many people who are bold. If you want the people to live a good life, you must make the court's policies implement and benefit the people. It is essential that the government clear and clear management, and the channels for people to appeal must also be smooth."

"If you want me to tell me, Your Majesty... Master, you are still too kind. To those corrupt officials, if you catch one, you will have to lingchi. If you catch one, you will have to lingchi!

"I'm going to kill you hard, I don't believe it. This knife can't calm people's hearts!"

The murderous words of Duke Jingguo also made the two old men tremble in their hearts. Okay, these two brothers, the two kings and ministers, are really a perfect match!

"Master, do you remember when we fled. In Qingshui County, a yamen official who relied on his big power would dare to take someone to rob a woman and force Mr. Wu to hit the wall and commit suicide. Otherwise, Brother Xiuxiu, you protected me at the time, and I would almost be beaten to death by them..."

"That's just a minor official, those officials, those landlords and men..."

It seemed that he was sad, and Duke Yasukuni became more and more excited as he spoke. The more he said, the more his hearts trembled, for fear that one would not touch the emperor's sadness, and that would be a big deal again!

The emperor remained silent, and his thoughts were hard to calm down.

During the period when he escaped in the wilderness, he really completely refreshed his modern views. He never thought that there was such a hell in the world! Human nature could be so distorted and evil!

But who can blame all this?

Strange natural disaster?

Yes, natural disasters are a big factor, but they are by no means the final cause.

Man-made disasters are the most terrifying things.

The powerlessness of the ruling class and... helping the evildoer are the most fundamental problems that lead to man-made disasters.

"Okay, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you can't be too hasty in everything."

In the end, the emperor just waved his hand.

In life, things that are not satisfactory are always eight or nine.

Even if he has such a lucky source for system panels, he will be bumpy along the way!

No matter how powerful you are in this world, you are destined to be restricted by the world.

He had no choice.

"Your Majesty is wise, and the saints say that governing a big country is like cooking a small thing. It is related to the people of the world. You must not act irresponsible..."

Xu Feng glanced at Lai Zongdao who was talking and snorted coldly, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Lai Zongdao seemed to have not heard Xu Feng's dissatisfaction and was still talking freely. The emperor did not interrupt Lai Zongdao's words. Instead, Shi Shiran took a sip of tea, as if he hadn't heard it.

He naturally knew the secret meaning of Lai Zongdao's words, and was nothing more than admonishing him not to kill him at will.

And this has also become the biggest contradiction between civil and military officials.

The thinking of literati, or the thinking of officials, is such a killing and such unscrupulous killing, which is obviously not in line with the institutional rules, nor with the Confucian values, and it is even more endangering their lives.

If you really believe them, if you look up the sky, you will probably not find out a few people.

After all, after the Ministry of Justice and the Inspectorate, I don’t know how many interests are mixed in. If I investigate a case, it is not about investigating a case, but about political talk.

In this model, in its prosperous era, it is normal and inevitable to maintain overall stability.

But under the current situation, it is obviously not feasible.

This does not mean that the person who advises him is useless, it is just a difference in thinking or values.

"Let's go, go and have a walk."

When Zongdao stopped chattering, the emperor put down the teacup, stood up, and stretched.
